Johnson, Director of Communications, General Dynamics NASSCO Carl Maxie Brashear Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Carl M. Brashear was born in Tonieville, Kentucky, on January 19, 1931. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on February 28, 1948, shortly after the Navy had desegregated. He completed recruit training at Naval Training Center Great Lakes, Illinois, in May 1948. After shore duty and two ship tours, Master Chief Brashear attended U.S. Navy Salvage & Diving School in Bayonne, New Jersey. In October 1954, he became one of the first African-Americans to graduate from the Navy diving school and was designated a Navy salvage diver. Over the next 10 years, he served as a Navy diver aboard ship and at several shore stations. In June 1964, he graduated from the Navy’s Deep-Sea Diving School located in Washington, D.C., and was designated as a First Class Diver. In September 1965, Master Chief Brashear reported aboard the rescue salvage ship USS Hoist (ARS 40) as the acting Master Diver. On January 17, 1966, a hydrogen bomb was lost off the coast of Spain, after two U.S. Air Force planes collided during an aerial refueling attempt. The Hoist was part of the Navy group tasked to find and recover the bomb. On March 23, 1966, during recovery operations, a mooring line of a landing craft pulled a steel pipe out of the Hoist’s deck. As the pipe flew across the deck, Brashear pushed another sailor out of the way, but was struck in the left leg below the knee by the pipe, nearly severing the limb. He was evacuated to Torrejon Air Base in Spain, then to Wiesbaden, Germany, and finally to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia. Despite efforts to save his leg, an infection in the limb worsened. Rather than face years of recovery with pins and braces, Master Chief Brashear convinced his doctors to amputate the lower portion of his left leg. Master Chief Brashear remained at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital for 10 months, while rehabilitating from the amputation. Although facing automatic discharge orders, he was determined to remain on active duty and agreed to undergo a prolonged series of fitness tests and diving exercises. In March 1967, he was assigned to the diving school for Harbor Clearance Unit Two, where he spent the next 12 months preparing to return to active duty. In April 1968, after a long struggle, he became the first amputee to return to full diving status. In June 1970, he became the first African-American to qualify and serve as a Master Diver while on active duty. He was promoted to the rank of Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate in August 1972. Master Chief Brashear retired from the Navy on April 1, 1979, after 31 years of service. He briefly worked for private industry before joining the federal civil service in November 1982, as an Environmental Protection and Energy Conservation specialist at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. He retired again after 10 years of civil service in January 1993. In 2000, Brashear’s military service was portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr., in the film, Men of Honor. Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Carl Brashear died on July 25, 2006, in Portsmouth, Virginia, and is buried in Norfolk, Virginia. On October 24, 2007, the Newport News, Virginia Fire Department dedicated a 9.1-meter long (30-foot) high-speed fireboat in Master Chief Brashear’s honor. The fireboat is used by the city’s dive and marine incident response teams. Ms. Lauren E. Brashear Sponsor Ms. Lauren Brashear is the eldest granddaughter of Master Chief Carl Brashear. Born in Newark, New Jersey, Lauren is the daughter of DaWayne Brashear and Linda Watkins-Brashear. Lauren graduated from Marylawn of the Oranges Academy in South Orange, New Jersey, in 2002, where she was the co-captain of the championship girls’ basketball team.

  • Carl Brashear (US Navy) and Phillip Brashear (USN, US Army)
    Men of Honor – Carl Brashear (US Navy) and Phillip Brashear (USN, US Army) By Gary Lehman Man of Honor: Carl Brashear Dive News Network (DNN) caught up to Carl Brashear’s son Phillip in Richmond, Virginia to talk about the Carl Brashear Foundation and about his father’s US Navy career, his life and times and achievements. Some of our readers have seen and will remember the fine film Men Of Honor (2000) starring Cuba Gooding as Seaman (ultimately Master Chief Petty Officer and Master Diver) Carl Brashear, with Robert De Niro as his antagonist-turned champion Master Chief Bill Sunday, and actress Aunjanue Ellis as Carl’s wife Junetta Brashear. The film did an exemplary job portraying the inspiring life of Master Diver Brashear. And what an exalted life -- shimmering with achieving full human potential and the triumph of the human spirit! It will be a singular privilege in this article to recount Carl’s life and journey. We can all draw inspiration from Carl Brashear, his intrepid determination and ultimate success in the face of multiple, overwhelming odds. His life offers a lighted pathway for us to pursue our personal commitment to achieve maximum potential in our own lives. Haze Gray and UNDERWAY! Carl’s historic life achievement was to become the US Navy’s first African- American Master Diver, first to earn the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer -- the highest enlisted sailor position in the United States Navy. Only one percent of all enlisted sailors ever reach this pinnacle of US Navy ratings. From Rural Kentucky to the US Navy Carl was born a sharecropper’s son in rural Kentucky in 1931 at the height of the Depression, and joined the US Navy in 1948 at age 17 at the insistence of his parents.
